Having trouble deleting the old Vista files
When I u/g to 7 from Vista it left a bunch of folder on each partition of my hard drive. They were prefixed by the $ sign.
They are large - many Gbs and I want to get rid of them.
When I try to delete them I get the usual UAC window asking for permission, which I give, but then I get a window saying that i have to get permission from PBS - OFFICE - PC\PBS.
I am signed on as administrator and further checking with whoami.exe shows that I am PBS - OFFICE - PC\PBS.
I have given PBS - OFFICE - PC\PBS ownership and full control privileges via Properties/security/owner tabs but I still get this problem.
Why do I need permission to delete when it is telling me that the permission is needed from ME???? If I am logged on as PBS - OFFICE - PC\PBS - according to whoami, why is it still telling me that I need permission from myself??
This is really a pain which I just do not understand.
Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
